Billion SG5010R2

Broadband PLC AMI Low Voltage Head End Module

Billion SG5010R2 has the same functionality with Billion SG5011R2, a broadband PLC communication unit that connects and transfers data over the electric grids from utility companies to customer’s endpoints. Billion SG5011R2 serves as a backhaul channel responsible for the bi-directional signal transmission between Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) head-end devices locating at the utilities control center. Billion SG5011 R2 enables multiple broadband power line applications such as Smart Grid, power outage notification, dynamic routing and intelligent repetition, SCADA extension, and surveillance over the medium voltage grid. SG5011 R2 also supports additional service features, including Internet, telephony, security alarm, smart home control, and video services.

Significant Cost SavingThe initial cost of implementation of Billion Broadband PLC L as the AMI communication network technology may be higher compared with narrow-band based PLC or other wireless technologies. However, high bandwidth and innovative functionalities of broadband PLC add significant cost savings to the maintenance of AMI and implementation of future smart grid applications. Broadband PLC also provides a cost-effective alternative solution for last mile broadband access to home and office buildings.

Secure TransmissionLike allIP based systems, there are many potential threats and vulnerabilities within an AMI system. Utilities are now moving from a world of offline meters to a network of smart meters communicating on a 7x24 basis. Security measurement is an important task in the planning of AMI. PLC provides
enhanced security by leveraging standard based DES/3DES encryption to ensure the protection of consumer data and AMI infrastructure.

Economical and Flexible Solutions for Low-Density Rural Areas

In most rural areas, cellular signals are not readily available as wireless coverage is much less. Narrowband PLC system provides an economical AMR solution but often lacks the real-time communication capability and critical reliability; it takes longer to collect data and failure rates are higher. Infrastructures built with broadband PLC technology can solve many of the issues described above and provide economical and flexible solutions for data collecting for low-density rural communities.
